WASHINGTON >> Donald Trump’s top health official today said evidence does not show that Kenvue’s pain medicine Tylenol definitively causes autism but that it should still be used cautiously, a month after the president said U.S. health officials would recommend limiting its use.

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s comments also come one day after the Republican state of Texas sued the maker of the medicine, also known as acetaminophen and which has been sold widely for decades.

“The causative association … between Tylenol given in pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely cause autism. But it is very suggestive,” Kennedy told reporters, citing animal, blood and observational studies.

“There should be a cautious approach to it,” he added.
